The Grand Jury and the Local Option
LAW

The report of the Grand Jury, which was
presented to the court on Wednesday, should
be read and pondered by every citizen. In
their report this body of twenty.three re-
spectacle, intelligent, law-abiding men, pre-
sided over by one of the most thoughtful,
prudent and conscientious citizens OF the
county, acting under the solemnty of their
oaths, express their unqualified conviction
that the Local Option law has failed to sup
press the traffic in Intoxicating liquor in the
county.
Their conclusion is based upon their ex-
perience in the grand jury room, where SO
out of 10 witnesses examined were on local
option cases alone. With this large number
of witnesses the Grand Jury, after taking in
finite pains and making every effort to secure
convicting evidence, were unable, under their
oaths, to say that the evidence justified pre-
sentiments in more than three or four cases.
1t is alleged as fact, and no one doubts
the correctness of the statement, that the
Local Option law is violated daily in all
parts of the county. This constant alleged
violation, the Grand Jury declare, has
brought the Local Option law into disrepute
and what is, perhaps worse, tends to destroy
respect for and a wholesome awe of other
laws. Therefore, with recognition of the
full import Of their testimony the Grand
Jury unanimously recommend the next Leg
islature to make some change in the Local
Option law.
The experience of this Grand Jury, as every
man knows who has served as a grand Juror
since the Local Option law went into opera
ton, is merely repetition of the experience
of other grand juries. Even in the compare
lively few cases in which the evidence before
the Grand Jury justified indictments under
the Local Option law the testimony of the
same witnesses, as given on trial in court, was
manilestly insufficient TO convict.
The law has been in operation for four
year,. Ten different grand juries have since
met and diligently enquired into violations
of IFS provisions, and The experience of the
last is rs the first II has been unreasonabIy
sought to throw the odium of the failure to
convict the few who have been indicted upon
the court and petit juries but it is not to be
supposed that so many petit jurors, selected
as honorable and reputable citizens, would
have wantonly violated their oaths and ac-
quilted the guilty If the evidence had been
sufficient to convict.
1t was to be expected that lawless ',ren
would oppose the law, throw obstacles in the
way of its enforcement and violate 1t But
four years of trial has convinced many other
citizens, besides the present grand jury, that
